Inspector Gadget

Yesterday, while I was awaiting the electrical inspector, and during a brief moment of sunhine, I built this jig to cut wire.  When we start putting up the foam boards that will act as the concrete forms for the shell, they will be secured with these short pieces of wire. (see the previous blog entry for more details)

 

Now that we have the “sign off” from both the electrical and building inspector, we can proceed with this next step in preparation for spraying the concrete shell.  However we are still a slave to Mother Nature.  As I am writing this blog entry,  I am sitting in our leaky trailer being buffeted by 60 mph winds and horizontal rain.  I think that the only thing that will get accomplished this weekend is cutting lots of wire with this handy “gadget”.

Next weekend, I’ll be heading back down to Dixon, Californina and the Eatwell Farm, where they will be spraying the shotcrete on their Formworks home.  I look forward to seing that process take place.
